Hi Jakub!
(I'm Andreas, a GNOME upstream artist)
Ouch, Hate is quite a strong word and certainly something I would avoid 
to use for a graphical interface, even though you might have some 
problems with it. I'm sure Martin, Luya and others are doing their best 
to do a good job with the set.
Full icon coverage across a operating system is quite a task, or, heck, 
it's a insanely massive amount of work. I understand your concerns about 
the final look of the Fedora 9 system, but we're not there yet and I'm 
certain the Fedora art team can make a wise decision where to go when 
the time comes.
Always love, never hate.
